‘Aggro Dr1ft’ Teaser: Harmony Korine Returns With Experimental Infrared Action Movie

So Harmony Korine’s latest efforts, Spring Breakers and 2019’s The Beach Bum, aren’t the wildly experimental projects that got him labeled “enfant terrible” earlier in his career. However, they’re hardly what one would call conventional movies, either, and so we shouldn’t expect anything different as Korine tackles his first action movie, Aggro Dr1ft.

Starring rapper Travis Scott, who worked with Korine on musical companion film Circus Maximus, Aggro Dr1ft is shot entirely using thermal night vision lenses. Yes, a whole movie in infrared. The Predator would love it.

Scott is joined by Jordi Molla (Bad Boys II) in the cast, while Arnaud Potier provides the unique cinematography. DJ AraabMuzik provides the score.

Here’s the synopsis: In the seedy domain of Miami’s criminal underbelly, a seasoned hitman embarks on the relentless pursuit of his next target. Shot entirely through thermal lens, he navigates a twisted world where violence and madness reign supreme. Tensions unravel, leading to a psychedelic journey that blurs the lines between predator and prey.

And here’s what Korine had to say about the film ahead of its world premiere in Venice:

Wild days, wild nights. Wasn’t wanting to make a movie. Was wanting to make what comes after movies. Was wanting to be inside the world. More like a video game. But who’s playing who. GAMECORE. Edglrd. Something new on the horizon. Life is good. Without it we’d be dead. AGGRO DR1FT. In between worlds. Locked and loaded. An ode to the aggressive drifter.

Expect a release date announcement soon!
